The Homelessness Multiple Needs Service at Wigan Council uses the MEAM Approach to bring a multi-agency approach to dismantle barriers to service inclusion across the borough, which in turn enables people in an entrenched rough sleeping lifestyle to access mainstream services such as health, substance misuse, housing and education. The service employs a coordinator, and between January and June 2014, nine out of a cohort of 13 people who had a history of rough sleeping accessed or sustained housing and accessed mainstream health and recovery services.
